Indian wicket keeper-batsman Rishabh Pant trolled his teammate Washington Sundar while fielding against England at Chennai.
Rishabh Pant Trolls Sundar
So, while he has been continuously talking in the Test series against England at Chennai, a lot of it has been captured by the stump mic. However, something that he told Washington Sundar has got fans laughing out loud.
During the 70th over of the innings, Sibley managed to defend a delivery from Washington Sundar. Pant decided it was a good idea to troll the all-rounder and he was heard screaming, “Mera naam hai Washington, Mujhe jana hai DC” which translates to, “My name is Washington, and I want to go to DC”.
As soon as this was heard, netizens made sure to share videos of the same.
“Mera naam hai Washington, Mereko jana hai DC”

As for the clash, England skipper Joe Root smashed a ton on his 100th Test in Chennai. The England captain who has three consecutive centuries now in his last three Tests, also the first player in history to score a hundred in his 98th, 99th and 100th Test.
Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting is the only cricketer to hit centuries in both innings on his 100th Test. With this ton, Joe Root also became the eighth player and third English cricketer after Colin Cowdrey and Alec Stewart to score the century on their 100th Test.
